MediaZone, a leading global online broadcaster, and the All England Lawn Tennis & Croquet Club announced the renewal of their agreement to deliver comprehensive video coverage of the 2007 Wimbledon Championships to global audiences on Wimbledon.org. In 2006, MediaZone and the AELTC collaborated to deliver Wimbledon LIVE, an All England Club initiative in conjunction with its broadcasters. The broadband video service offered a range of content, including live and VOD coverage of more than 300 matches from up to nine courts concurrently, three free Radio Wimbledon channels of live commentary and ten hours of classic archive footage showcasing the legendary rallies and matches that have taken place throughout�the history of the tournament. Wimbledon LIVE attracted more than 2.2 million unique visitors worldwide, with subscribers accessing the programming from over 100 territories around the world, consuming 300,000 live streams and 250,000 downloads. 2007�s Wimbledon LIVE builds on this success and will offer even more in-depth coverage of the prestigious championships and an expanded library of archived tournament highlights, footage and interviews as well as new features. MediaZone and IBM (Information Technology Supplier to The Championships) are working on an entirely new way for fans to interact with the service on Wimbledon.org this year. Complete details for Wimbledon LIVE 2007 will be unveiled in the coming weeks. Wimbledon.org (the official website of The Championships) is designed, built and managed by IBM as part of its long-term relationship with The Championships. It continues to be one of the most successful and highly-trafficked sports websites with approximately 5 million unique visitors during The Championships in 2006. Wimbledon.org is also home to the Wimbledon LIVE service which is created in conjunction with MediaZone. �Wimbledon is one of the most recognized and respected sporting events in the world and lends itself well to MediaZone�s comprehensive, interactive event coverage that allows global audiences to follow all the proceedings of this prestigious tournament with simply a PC and broadband connection, anytime and anywhere they choose,� said Jan Steenkamp, Chairman of MediaZone. �Our renewed agreement with the All England Lawn Tennis Club enables us to work closely with IBM to innovate upon the groundbreaking Wimbledon LIVE service we offered last year for an even more immersive experience surrounding this year�s Championships.� "We are thrilled to continue our relationship with MediaZone to offer once again the most comprehensive coverage of the Lawn Tennis Championships at Wimbledon to tennis fans worldwide,� said Ian Ritchie, Chief Executive of the AELTC. �Given the success of Wimbledon LIVE on Wimbledon.org in 2006 and MediaZone and IBM�s continued emphasis on creating superior user experiences, the renewed partnership aligns with our mission to honour the rich tradition of Wimbledon while making the event more accessible to fans everywhere.� Live online coverage of the 2007 Wimbledon Championships begins Monday, June 25, 2007.
